World Boxing Council president Jose Sulaiman insists Dereck Chisora will not be "put in the trash" by the body despite handing him an indefinite ban and heavy fine following his behaviour before and after his heavyweight title bout with Vitali Klitschko in Munich.

Chisora slapped his Ukrainian opponent at the weigh-in and spat water at Klitschko's brother Wladimir just prior to the contest, before being embroiled in a brawl with British rival David Haye at the post-fight press conference.

"He is a human being so we're not going to put him in the trash," Sulaiman told Sky Sports News. "He made a mistake. He must pay for the mistake but also we have to give him another opportunity."

The WBC confirmed the ban in a statement, in which they said they were "demanding Chisora take anger management medical treatment after which his suspension will be reconsidered".

Chisora's promoter Frank Warren hit out at their comments and questioned how a punishment could be issued without an official process. Sulaiman, however, insists there will in fact be a hearing and insists there is light at the end of the tunnel for Chisora if he meets their demands.

"We'd like to have the doctors certify it and if they say he is approved we would definitely consider [ending the ban]," he added.

"We're going to have a hearing. The attorney representing the WBC is Steven Beverley. He is our legal council in England. He will be in charge of the hearing. It will take place as soon as possible. We're asking our representative to go ahead and do the hearing immediately."

Sulaiman added: "He needs it (anger management therapy). I've never seen before, in my 67 years in boxing, someone behave with so much anger, so much hate."

Warren, commenting on the WBC statement, earlier told Press Association Sport: "Is Jose Sulaiman a qualified psychiatrist or does he have any medical qualifications?

"Until someone who does examines or talks about Chisora - if indeed that is what needs to be done - then I would say he is not qualified to say that. I find the find the whole thing bizarre, unbelievably strange."
